WHAT IS IT?
The Global Health calendar, or GH calendar, is a tool that will centralize information about events occurring worldwide related to Global Health, so you can easily access them and you don’t miss anything! The events will be published by us, but you can contribute in filling the calendar with GH events of your interest. We want this tool to be easily accessible, practical, updated and collaborative.
It is important to note that we do not organize the events found in this calendar. The ones organized by the Global Health Next Generation Network are found in Events.
This means that we cannot ensure that this events will happen, and we do not take responsibility if they are cancelled. We also want to make clear that we are not receiving any gains from promoting these events.
HOW CAN YOU CONTRIBUTE?
You can contribute to the GH calendar by sending us events you find interesting in the form found below, as long as they are within the scope of Global Health. We’ll review them and publish them on the calendar.
At the same time, you can also add comments giving your opinion of past events you have attended, either if you knew about them thanks to our tool or not. You will find the comments form soon in this page.

6:00 pm: Decolonising the Curriculum and Racism in Academia6:00 pm: Decolonising the Curriculum and Racism in Academia – Title: Decolonising the Curriculum and Racism in Academia Organizers: Gender Centre, Graduate Institute Geneva, Black Conversations Description: From the Rhodes Must Fall movement in South Africa and Oxford to the decolonisation work being done at the Graduate Institute, Geneva, efforts to decolonise the university have continued to grow across university campuses worldwide. However, what does decolonising the university mean, and how does this differ from diversity and inclusion projects? Black Conversations have partnered with the Gender Centre to host Professor Kehinde Andrews lecture on "Decolonising the curriculum and Racism in Academia".

12:15 am: The Narrowing of the European Court of Human Rights? Legal Diplomacy, Situational Self-Restraint and Dejudicialisation12:15 am: The Narrowing of the European Court of Human Rights? Legal Diplomacy, Situational Self-Restraint and Dejudicialisation – Title: The Narrowing of the European Court of Human Rights? Legal Diplomacy, Situational Self-Restraint and Dejudicialisation Organizers: Global Governance Centre, Graduate Institute Geneva (part of ERC funded research project "The Paths of International Law" Description: In recent years, the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) has faced a growing number of challenges, stemming, among other reasons, from problems with the implementation of some of its judgments, an upsurge of sovereigntist sentiments in some member states and the rise of de facto illiberal democracies within its jurisdiction. This article examines the effects that these changing contexts have had on the operation of the ECtHR. In very general terms, the article finds that the ECtHR has become increasingly more restrained, but that this restraint plays out in multiple different ways which reflect the structural differences among the member states with regard to the protection of human rights. The article argues that the ECtHR has developed a new and differentiated legal rationality that combines elements of its original legal diplomacy with new forms of strategic deference and a different vision for its overarching role in the protection of European human rights. Overall, the result is a narrowing of the role of the Court. Language: ENG Registration: Free/ Need to previous register Online |

All day: Beyond the Pandemic HERE Conference – What next?All day: Beyond the Pandemic HERE Conference – What next? All day Title: Beyond the Pandemic HERE Conference – What next? Organizers: Humanitarian Exchange and Research Centre (HERE) Geneva Description: The humanitarian sector has not been short of reform or change efforts over the years. At the core of each attempt has been the aim to do better, to reach those most affected by crisis in a timely manner with the assistance and protection they need. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought in another layer of policy and operational reckoning. It has pushed humanitarians to question, adapt and at times transform their approaches and ways of working. It is intervening at a time of broader questions around structural power imbalances and the role of humanitarians in addressing the climate crisis. It is also accelerating change processes already under way. It is too early to tell what changes are here to stay. What is clear, however, is that it is up to the humanitarian sector to leverage this moment of global crisis to exert the type of transformative change it may really need. Through the conference, HERE would like to use the preliminary findings of its research project “Beyond the pandemic” to move collectively from analysis to solutions. If we have a good idea of what does not work, how do we make change happen? What needs to be integrated into current global policy processes? The true value of an ecosystem is its diversity of views. HERE is therefore not looking for the ideal solution but it rather believes in creating the opportunity to bring different visions together to map alternative ways forward.

Circular economy policies and initiatives largely take place domestically at the national or regional level. However, they have important interlinkages with international trade. International trade plays an important role in circular supply chains in materials and products, end-of-life value chains in waste and scrap, secondary raw materials and second-hand goods. In this light, how can trade contribute to a more resource efficient and circular economy? How would the circular economy transition have an impact on global trade patterns? And in what ways can we secure coherence in these two policy areas? Join Shunta Yamaguchi and Rob Dellink of the OECD Environment Directorate on 25 March at 15:00 CET to discuss the role of international trade in the transition to a resource efficient and circular economy. The presentation highlights findings from a series of recent OECD reports, including: “The Consequences of a More Resource Efficient and Circular Economy for International Trade Patterns” and “International Trade and Circular Economy: Policy Alignment”.
